Pirelli Announce Tyre Choices For Baku

Pirelli have revealed their compound choices for the Grand Prix of Europe, to be hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, taking with them the medium, soft and supersofts.

Under the new tyre regulations for 2016, the two compounds that are required for use by the teams are the white walled mediums, and the yellow walled soft tyres. The red supersofts are then allocated as the qualifying tyre.

As per the new regulations, long-haul event tyre allocations must be made 14 weeks in advance, and the compound selections for Baku mirror what has been selected for Australia, Bahrain, China and Russia, with only the Canadian Grand Prix currently having access to the brand new purple ultra softs in place of the medium tyre.
